Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast Between Two Ravens

To kick off Season 3 Shawn and David are talking about Ragnarok.

Loki is freed from his bonds and he is joined by his children Fenrir, Jormungandr, Hel and her army of the dead, The sons of Muspell (an army of Fire Giants), and an army of Frost Giants for good measure.
It's a wild scene, but as David points out, not quite as wild as the book of Revelations (you really gotta read the book of Revelations).
We also start to interpret what Ragnarok might represent psychologically. Stay tuned for Ragnarok (Part 2).

But before that, we will have the Fireside Chat, a live event we have been looking forward to for months. We appologize for the short notice, but hope you will be able to attend our live episode recording Friday, January 20th at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific. We are going to talk about our plans for Season 3, Shawn is going to read Völundarkviða, The poem of Volund the Smith, by a fire, and we will be drinking from our viking drinking horns. It will be followed by a Q&A and we look forward to meeting our fans.

The Fireside Chat is free to attend, but feel free to donate $5 if you want to support our eccentric purchase of custom engraved viking drinking horns: https://tworavenpodcast.wordpress.com/donation/

Our first ever live Fireside Chat! In this episode the hosts (Shawn and David obviously) and fans discuss (over drinks) the poem Vǫlundarkviða from the Poetic Edda. The poem details the story of a talented elf's fall into a corrupted sole as he takes revenge on a king of men, Nithuth...

In this episode Shawn and David discuss the battle of Ragnarök. We see the deaths of many of our favorite characters of Norse Mythology.
....It uhhhh, does NOT go well for the gods.

David also is very excited that he watched a movie this century and was keen to discuss Thor: Love and Thunder.

In this episode, Shawn discusses the figure of Cerdic, the supposed first king of Wessex as told in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Cerdic and his son Cynric formed the kingdom in the year 519 ce. 400 years later, his house and descendants would form the Kingdom of England, a kingdom which still stands today in 2023 with King Charles III.
The chronicle also contains 2 interesting notes. One in the year 495 ce which gives a preview of the list of Kings of Wessex/England from Cerdic to Edward the Martyr, who died in 978 ce (Kings they would be discussing later anyway on their respective years). The other being in 854 ce (the year of King Aethelwulf of Wessex's death), where it then gives a direct line of ancestors of Aethelwulf all the way do Adam from the Bible.
Shawn also uses 2 different pronunciations of Cerdic's son "Cynric" because he is an idiot.

Shawn and David recap the journey of Odin in a 3 part series. Part one is Odin’s younger years. Odin’s origin and the birth of the gods. Odin’s adventures to gain wisdom, poetry, and magic spells.
David and Shawn muse on the idea of why Odin is seeking Wisdom from The Feminine, what Odin has to sacrifice, and why it all has to do with learning to face your death.
